I think this will be common interest for more than one distro or
person. It will be good to start moving them into a new layer under
meta-openembedded repo, something like meta-gplv2-pinned or
somethings, then users who are interested can prioritize this layer
over oe-core and there by use these versions easily instead of what
comes from oe-core.
